Sickle cell anemia is a homozygous recessive disorder. This means, in order to have sickle cell anemia, you must have two copies

of the recessive allele (aa). Sickle cell anemia can be a lethal disease if proper treatment is not available.
Malaria is a disease that kills hundreds of thousands of people every year. More people die from malaria than sickle cell anemia worldwide. In malaria infested countries, those people who are carriers of the sickle cell allele (Aa) are provided a resistance to malaria, and therefore, are more likely to survive.


Based on the information given, choose the best hypothesis. 
A) Over time, the frequency of the dominant (A) allele would increase in malaria infested populations.

 B) In areas that do not have malaria, there would be an increase in the frequency of the sickle cell (a) allele.

 C) Due to natural selection, the frequency of the heterozygous (Aa) genotype would increase over time in malaria infested populations. 

D) Due to natural selection against the recessive (a) allele in malaria infested areas, there would be a decrease in the number of people who have sickle cell anemia.

List five introduced species that present a serious threat to their new communities. explain the damage done by each introduced
Delicious77 [7]
Cat (Australia); lots of cats became feral and they reproduce very fast. They became the apex predator and the native species have no defense system for them, so the cats brought tens of species on the verge of extinction (mainly placental mammals).
Fox (Australia); became an apex predator in the lack of competition, and damages the populations of native small placental mammals. 
Hair (Australia); reproduces much quicker than the native species of mammals, increased significantly in numbers, and out competes the native species for the food sources.
African bee (the Americas); much more aggressive and stronger than the native bees and systematically kills their populations.
Grey squirrel (Britain); reproduces quicker than the red squirrel, is bigger, and out competes for food, brought it on the verge of extinction.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Refined carbohydrates tend to be much in lower in fiber and vitamins than whole grains. These are complex carbs that have had fiber removed from them leaving reproduce simple carbohydrates. These are rapidly absorbed causing a blood sugar increase, which is followed by some crash. During the milling process, the germ and bran is peeled and the grain's endosperm is crushed. The final product becomes easier to gnaw and digest. The main reason manufacturers process the grain is to lengthen shell life.
